Oh it won't put me off. I actually continued riding it up until a couple days ago when I discovered that I had put a tiny puncture in the left crank case cover. That's now my most important fix. I think at this point I just need to put an order together from the link above.

Boy I'm glad you weren't hurt. The very first thing I did when I picked up my CB1100 was order dolly bars (thats what we called the little chrome bars around the crankcase covers back in the day) It save a LOT of damage.

When these bikes start to go over, at nearly 600 pounds if you aren't quick, you can't stop them. Just a fall over even not moving can do damage.

Sounds like you can put'er back together again, although that cover may not be cheap. Maybe someone here would have a cover you can get at a reasonable cost?

In over 40 years of riding, I've never heard them referred to as dolly bars. Huh. You learn something new every day.

Maybe I should get some "dolly bars" haha

Well, the cover turns out to be about $100 bucks shipped which really is a lot better than I thought. I was really hoping to come up with some parts here but so far not a lot of luck. And now with the poor bike just sitting in the garage I'm probably going to order parts tomorrow or Friday because good riding weather is going to fade fast for me!

What are you looking for?

Left crank case cover and the lower meter cover are the main ones.

Sure can mate. Just patch 'em, paint 'em, pat them on the posterior and you're back in the game.
